Understanding Color Theory
Colors work together following specific principles. Understanding these creates harmonious outfits.
Complementary Colors
Colors opposite on the color wheel create vibrant contrast. Examples: blue and orange, purple and yellow.
Analogous Colors
Colors next to each other create harmony. Example: blue, blue-green, and green.
Warm vs. Cool Tones
Understanding whether you're warm or cool-toned helps select colors that flatter:
- Warm tones: Gold, warm greens, oranges, warm reds
- Cool tones: Silver, cool blues, cool purples, cool pinks
Skin Tone Color Matching
Your skin tone determines which colors make you glow:
- Fair skin: Jewel tones, pastels, bold colors
- Medium skin: Warm or cool tones, earth tones
- Deep skin: Jewel tones, warm colors, bright colors
The 60-30-10 Rule
A balanced outfit uses:
- 60% dominant color (base)
- 30% secondary color (accent)
- 10% pop of color (standout piece)
Neutral Combinations
Safe, sophisticated color combinations: black & white, navy & cream, gray & white.
